Space is limited in each division. Pickleball NL reserves the right to combine divisions where necessary.
Divisions/pools will play at Rogers Dome at Greenbelt and Northpoint Sports - which division will play where will be determined at a later date.
Waitlists will be created for all divisions. If a team is waitlisted, they may register in an alternate (lower age) division. If a spot becomes available in their preferred division, they will be moved automatically.
Players may compete in one division per event, with a maximum of three events (e.g., women’s doubles, mixed doubles, and singles).
Registration Fees
* $40 per player (registration fee)
* $15 per player, per event
Example:
$40 registration + 3 events ($45) = $85 total per player

Additional Details
Registration is first come, first served.
If you do not have a partner, you can indicate this during registration using the “Looking for a Partner” option. We also recommend contacting tournament organizers directly to assist with pairing if you see someone "Looking for a Partner" Sometimes the "contact player" button doesn't work well.
A waitlist will be available for each division once full.
Tournament play will use the Franklin X-40 ball.
The tournament surface will be indoor hard court at both venues.
Partner Registration Policy:
* The first player to register holds the spot for 5 days
* The second partner must register within that timeframe
* If not completed, the team will be moved to the waitlist
* If a partner withdraws, the remaining player has 5 days to find a replacement
Scheduling Notes
Friday play:
We will aim to schedule older divisions earlier in the day, but cannot guarantee this. Players should be prepared to compete during daytime hours on Friday.
Final division schedules will be released on or before May 15, 2026.
We are looking forward to an exciting tournament and can’t wait to see everyone on the courts!
